05 2.0d OBD-2 reset tool that does not work!? - johnpulman
I bought a BMW OBD2, 16 pin plugin reset tool to use on my 2005 320d. I follow the instructions for use. At the point of reset the 3 lights (yellow, green and red) flash continuously (they should go off then come back on to indicate reset) and the reset does not happen. I sent the first tool back to China and when the replacement arrived the same problem occurs. Should I have bought direct from China? The seller suggest returning the second tool.
The car is not yet due for service should I wait and try again when it is?
Has anyone bought this type of reset tool and had a similar problem?

is it a digital or analouge type service system?. I suspect it has a can network for that age. Does your have I drive or CBS service reset system?. If its CBS you will need an advanced tool & you will need to carry out a very specific procedure.
